Detailed Description

Cardone 18-B4726 is built for drivers and technicians replacing a rear left disc brake caliper on select GM vehicles. This remanufactured unit uses a phenolic piston and OE-style bracketed design to match the original brake configuration on applications such as the 1999-2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2000-2001 Chevrolet Tahoe, and 2003-2005 Chevrolet Astro. It also cross-references Chevrolet 18040087 and GMC 18040087 for the same application.

Each caliper is remanufactured to rigorous standards, pressure-tested, and fitted with new components that help restore proper hydraulic sealing and pedal response. The oil emulsion finish and rust-inhibiting treatment help preserve the original equipment appearance while supporting long-term service life.

What It Helps Fix

• Uneven rear braking on the left side
• Brake drag caused by a sticking caliper piston
• Brake fluid leakage at the caliper body or bleeder area
• Soft or inconsistent brake pedal feel related to caliper wear
• Corrosion-related caliper seizure on older GM brake systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify brake code and brake configuration before ordering, especially on 2000-2002 Cadillac DeVille and 2001-2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 / GMC Sierra 1500 applications that require specific GM brake codes. Use the OE-recommended brake fluid listed on the master cylinder reservoir cap, and replace fluid from a sealed container only. For floating caliper mounting pins, use silicone grease as specified in the product FAQs.
